If it’s shared gate then you’d think they’d want it at trinity and potentially earn thousands from the game.

Having it at the shay wouldn’t see even half the attendence it would get at Belle vue.

Could put on 'free' buses for Siddal fans and they'd be better off financially playing at Belle Vue.
Also their players would have a story to tell their grandkids ie I once played at one of the oldest RL grounds in the world etc

Let’s hope it’s not played at Siddall, poor pitch and the parking would be horrendous, it’s very bad on normal game day

Couple of years ago, Siddal were drawn against Toronto in the cup, the fixture remained at siddal and they almost beat them.
Its a terrible main pitch, on a slope both end to end and side to side and under sized. One side has a physical barrier, last time I went the other side was just taped off
As an amateur community set up its pretty good, but for a game like this it's totally inadequate, car park can hold around 30 cars and there is no on street parking, with a very narrow access road.

Honestly couldn’t imagine why Siddal wouldn’t want to move the game to Belle vue or request it.

Decent payday, good experience for players as I’m sure trinity will make them and their staff welcome.

If like Ashurst testimonial tickets are priced reasonable (£10 maybe) then I see no reason why there wouldn’t be a couple thousand there.

BV seems more likely then The Shay.
By the time they've paid Fax to use their facilities, they will be out of pocket and if it's played at BV, there will be a decent crowd.
Seems like a no brainer but, I guess it's up to the two clubs and the RFL.
